Hi,
I was updating the wiki entry on \externalfigures (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/externalfigure) and noticed that I cannot get ConTeXt to include a movie.

So, does ConTeXt support including movies in pdf files, and if so, can someone provide a minimal working example.
It appears to be a viewer issue. \pdfcompresslevel=0 \setupinteraction[state=start] \starttext \externalfigure[clip.mov][height=2cm, width=2cm, preview=yes] \stoptext The pdf file has << /Type /Annot /A << /ShowControls true >> /Subtype /Movie /T (movie clip.mov) /Border [ 0 0 0 ] /Movie << /Poster true /Aspect [ 56.692913385827 56.692913385827 ] /F (clip.mov) >> /Rect [70.867 657.6468 127.5599 714.3397]
so, ConTeXt appears to be including the right annotation, but the viewer (acroread) is not rendering the movie. Aditya
